Researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CERT) are developing a new way of boosting fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent without changing a car’s powertrain at all.

Their secret? Finding ways to change our behavior so we’re more attuned to maximizing their mileage while behind the wheel.

IMO The best way to achieve this is add a "taxi meter" mode where you can input your cost of energy and watch the dollars spin like a slot machine as you drive 70+.

+1!

Now that I own a Leaf, I see this in my mind every time I drive my ICE car...
 
Funny that you brought that up, I just caught myself imaging this just the other day when I was driving an SUV :lol:
